What to expect at the Liu San Jie Show

Liu San Jie Show tells the local customs and the story of Liu Sanjie through the views on the Li River and singing and dancing as well as the changing lights. The theater is dotted with tea trees and fernleaf hedge bamboo forests. From August 2019, the theater has a museum introducing the story of Liu Sanjie and the history and development of the show.

 

The show shows the story that Liu Sanjie withstood the oppression of Landlord Mo and managed to escape the persecution and marry Aniu Ge.

The show is composed of five parts with different colors. The red singing game between girls and boys is a combination of red satin and local folk songs. The view of the red satin dancing by the boys on the bamboo raft and the exciting music make for a adrenaine-rising scene.

The Part of Green Hometown demonstrates the local life. The bulls, cowherds with happy children present the traditional farming life. The lady washing clothes at the Li River, and the fishing boats in the evening depict the daily life of locals.

Blue Love Song employs the folk song to show the love between Liu Sanjie an Aniu Ge. Bamboo forests, wooden houses and the moon are the background. The most impressive is that one lady dances on the moon floating on the river while the bride gets changed after bathing. All prepare for the scene where Aniu Ge picks Liu Sanjie up to live together.

Golden Lights on Fishing Boats build up the classical pictures on the Li River. Cormorants, bamboo rafts, lights on fishing boats, bamboo pillars and local straw rain capes on performers introduce the cormorant fishing on the Li River.

Silver Ceremony shows the scene of the folk ceremony in the legend of Liu Sanjie. Ladies in the ethnic minority costumes with silver neon lights create breathtaking views in the dark night.
